...council. Leichsenring, 37, was celebrating last week after being elected to Saxony's state parliament. But he's not your typical candidate. He's a leader of the National Democratic Party (NPD), an extreme-right-wing movement that the German government has tried unsuccessfully to ban because of its neo-Nazi leanings. Leichsenring acknowledges that his campaign was partly based on the slogan grenzen dicht! ("Close the borders!"), but maintains that the NPD is not xenophobic; it merely wants to turn away immigrants, who, says Leichsenring, bring down wages. "We have nothing against foreign tourists," he argues, "but we have...

RICHARD BUTLER, 86, white supremacist whose compound in rural Idaho, Aryan Nations, was the center of a U.S. neo-Nazi network with links around the globe; in Hayden, Idaho. Though some of his followers were later convicted of race crimes, Butler, a former aerospace engineer, ran the compound openly until a 1998 assault by his guards on a Native American woman led to his bankruptcy and its sale...
...Gospel without the gore can try The Animated Passion, with seven sing-along hymns, a blue-eyed Jesus enduring most of his pain off-camera, and a stodgy illustrative style. The less pious will turn to a South Park DVD, The Passion of the Jew, with Cartman as a neo--Hitler youth and Gibson as a raving loony. It's funny-angry, but for the gang's sturdiest liturgical statement, go to Season 4's Do the Handicapped Go to Hell? and its sequel, Probably. --By Richard Corliss
